The crickets are chirping, the stars are bright, the moon is a-glow, what isn't great about that? Scientists go hog wild over a night like that and so do I. I do consider myself a scientist. It may not be for one particular reason, but that doesn't mean you can't be a scientist. Mainly, my scientist side comes from my curious personality. It comes from being adventurous outside (and inside). Usually if there's something that I can look at sitting on the counter like a paper or toy that my sister has, I'll try to figure out what it is. If you haven't noticed, I won't go a day without asking a question. One of my favorite scientific traits about me is trying to fix something that breaks. I can't go just observing something with-out thinking about it and making inferences about how it works. When I was messing with my sister's Epipen trainer, I ended up spending 5 minutes putting it back together. It is really hard for me to ask for help on something like that because I don't like to give up (another scientist trait). Outside, I've had fun being an astronomer and watching a meteor shower or shooting stars. I heard there was going to be shooting stars one night in August so I got my family and we laid out on the grass staring at the sky for like two hours. Sometimes when my dad forces me to go to Home Depot I observe all the tools and make inferences on how they work like the toilet flapper, and funky looking piping or what not. It's kind of fun except I claim I don't like going to Home Depot. Although I have named some of the scientist parts of me there is probably more which I'm not recognizing. Scientists are everywhere and I am one of them.
